In Context

23 and against the Lord of the heavens thou hast lifted up thyself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before thee, and thou, and thy great men, thy wives, and thy concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, thou hast praised: and the God in whose hand is thy breath, and all thy ways, Him thou hast not honoured.

24 'Then from before Him sent is the extremity of the hand, and the writing is noted down;

25 and this is the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.

26 This is the interpretation of the thing: Numbered — God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.

27 Weighed — Thou art weighed in the balances, and hast been found lacking.

28 Divided — Divided is thy kingdom, and it hath been given to the Medes and Persians.'
